On offshore drilling units fitted with CO2 systems, each space that contains a cylinder must be vented and designed to keep temperature in the space at not more than _______________.

A 130°F
B 150°F
C 180°F
D 200°F
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 130°F. The reason is that under the requirements for offshore drilling units, each space containing a CO2 cylinder must be vented and designed to keep the temperature in the space at not more than 130°F. This is to ensure the CO2 cylinders do not overheat, which could lead to a hazardous situation. The other options are incorrect because 150°F, 180°F, and 200°F would exceed the maximum temperature limit specified in the regulations for these types of spaces.
